Just Hold Me ~ Norminah

•32•

Normanis POV

I had gotten another call from the colleges I applied almost immediately after Dinah feel asleep. As sick as I was going to be for kissing Dinah it was all worth it. Apparently UW decided to personally call me and tell me how they we not accepting me. I put Dinah in her room and left the house but not before cleaning up her soup.

I got home and my eyes widened 15 times as I scrolled through twitter. Beyoncé literally fucking tweeted me. BEYONCÉ, MY MOTHER. I jumped up and down and screamed in joy before reading the tweet.

"I love your cover of Daddy Lessons @NormaniKordei"

How the hell did she see my cover. I went to youtube and looked me up seeing that I had 600k views. Ally posted it. Of fucking course. Calling Ally she laughed and she came over.

A week later Beyoncé had tweeted me once more saying I don't even know, Ally checked it. Ally got a text from a Music Manager in LA named Rock Records. They offered me a record deal and I told them I would think about it. Seeing I would have had to move to LA as soon as I graduated I didn't know what to do about Dinah. She would want to come with me.

I ignored her all week not knowing what to do because of my final college rejection letter. As awful as it was getting rejected to 13 colleges, I was still offered a record deal. I always wanted to sing, trust me. College wasn't my dream, it was my parents.

"Will you meet me for dinner tonight." I asked her and we did.

Breaking up with her was a complete blank. I had to walk home, my car broke again. It may have been a cool car, but it was very old. It started to rain and I groaned continuing my walk home. My feet started freezing and my teeth were chattering. As soon as I got home I stripped my clothes off and got in the shower. I started crying realizing how much of a mistake I made. I got out of the shower and wrapped myself in a fluffy towel heading to my room. I heard the crack of thunder and jumped slightly. Dinah was scared of thunderstorms. I threw on a plain large tshirt and compression shorts throwing myself on my bed. I rubbed the tears starting to form in my eyes and sniffled when the doorbell rang. Raising my eyebrows and confusedly walking to the door I answered it looking at the floor.

Dinah.

Dinahs POV

After dramatically throwing myself on my bed and crying hysterically, finally, I decided that I needed closure. I walked to Normani's house as it started to rain. I didn't even care. Knocking on her apartment. She opened the door while looking down. Her hair was wet and she was in my shirt. She looked up after a minutes of silence and her mouth was agape.

"I-I need a r-reason." I said through broken sobs. She nodded and let me in and I sat on her couch.

"I'm sorry Dinah, I really-"

"Tell me why." I begged and she nodded sitting directly across from me.

"About a week ago I got a direct tweet from Beyoncé..." I stopped and she laughed. "Yeah I'm not joking though." I showed her it on my phone and she stared at it in awe.

"Rock Records, you know the recording company that signed CFM (the biggest girl band in their AU) offered me a record deal. I'm pretty sure it was because of Beyoncé's tweet or because Ally posted a video of me on YouTube. I don't know but they did and I have to move there directly after I graduate, I didnt want to just..."

"Thats not a fucking reason Normani! You cant do that to me." I screamed. "I'm happy for you, but I wish you wouldve told me."

"Long distance relationships dont work Dinah, we know that, you know that. Four hours thats nothing, but a different state, no you don't deserve that." She said still sitting down. I sat back down because I understood.

"I love you Normani Kordei Hamilton, I dont care about distance, I would cross the world for you."

"Dinah its not fair to you."

"So if your making an album our horrible long distance can be inspiration for you." I smiled shyly and she laughed. I kissed her without her noticing.

"Were not breaking up, end of discussion." I whispered going to her bedroom. She smirked as I ran into her bathroom locking the door and striping naked jumping in the shower before I got hypothermia from walking in the rain. After I showered I got out and grabbed a shirt from her dresser. She was reading a book on her bed as i crawled up to her and laid on my head on her chest. She wrapped an arm around me and kissed my forehead. I read the pages as she did until she turned of the lights and scooted back from me. We were facing each other when I laced our lips together in the softest kiss. She cupped my cheek. It was just a simple kiss full of so much love. I pulled back first and looked at her as she continued rubbing my cheek. I curled up to her chest as she wrapped her arms around me. We fell asleep in that position.

I had a dream that night. I remember so vividly all of my dreams, always.

I woke up feeling the comfort of Normani's front side to my back. It was weird that I was the little spoon, she was smaller than me. I turned in her arms and took in her beauty. Her nose twitched occasionally as she was asleep. I smiled and kissed it before jumping out of her bed and running into the tiny kitchen. I decided to make pancakes, because who doesnt love pancakes? As I poured the batter I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I smiled and turned kissing her. She laughed and rested her head on my shoulder.

"So if were still together, and you want to do this, I'm guessing I should accept the deal?" She whispered into my ear. I turned in her arms and she backed up.

"You haven't even accepted yet?" I laughed and she shook her head.

"Call them now." I said handing her her phone. She laughed at my enthusiasm and walked away dialing the number.

"Yes hello this is Normani Hamilton I would like to speak to Mr Rock?" She asked and thanked the person on the other end. Nervously she rocked on her heels.

"Yes Hello. I would just like to say that I accept your offer and if you would like I can meet you this Friday?" She asked walking around. She continued talking as I finished my pancake. I sat down at the three person bar and ate it.

"Thank you Mr Rock. I am honored." Normani smiled and walked towards me. "Im flying out this weekend to talk to them in person." She said leaning her forehead against mine.

"Hey I have a college tour this weekend." I laughed and she smiled.

"So were doing this?" She asked me.

"Together?"

"Together."
